I wouldn't say "by accident" - It has been my experience that most of the time, the breakage is not only highly deliberate, but triggered mostly by the high incidence of extreme OCD which kernel developers seem to suffer from, causing them to make fantastic wholesale changes to driver interfaces for utterly trivial cosmetic reasons which add no stability or functionality, but merely relieve their obsessive need to correct some "flaw" which no one else can perceive :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
